De film begint bij Daryll (William Hurt), een nachtwaker met een fascinatie voor verslaggeefster Tony (Sigourney Weaver), die het vermoorde lichaam van een Chinees vindt. Darylls tot dan toe onbereikbare heldin Tony komt er een reportage van maken. Om haar langer aan zich te binden vertelt Daryll dat hij meer weet van de zaak. Helaas voor Daryll lokt die leugen naast Tony ook de moordenaars.
Nee, helaas is Eyewitness nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
